Canoe Crop Kalo

I applied the bloom formula. I also top dressed the soil with worm castings and mulched. The kalo is looking really good and there are more keikis!

I gathered grass clippings and mulched the kalo

I water every or every other day, depending on how hot it is and if the soil is moist or not

I cleaned out my worm farm and applied the castings to the soil supporting the kalo

I sprayed the bloom formula.

Again, I sprayed the maintenance formula. It seems that there isn't much change from last week, maybe a little less yellowing on the leaves. There are a few keiki emerging on the sides of the parent kalo. Kalo is watered every day or every other day depending on how hot it has been.

Again, I used a pre-mixed maintenance that I keep on hand to be readily available. I use 27 oz water with 1 tsp of pre-mixed maintenance. I didn't need the entire 27 oz so I sprayed my other crops as well. I didn't apply any minerals.

I took a vacation and the kalo wasn't sprayed but was watered daily. Upon my return, it looked ok but there was some yellowing on the leaves. I applied the maintenance solution on 4-12, about five weeks after the last spraying.

Week 7. The kalo is growing so well! Some new leaves are emerging and there are no signs of pests.

I am watering the kalo every other day and that seems to be sufficient.

I made 2 gallons of leaf formula but only sprayed about 1/4 gal on the kalo and the soil

Week 5. I sprayed the leaf formula .All 12 of the huli have now sprouted a new leaf! Health of the plants looks really good.

It's still the rainy season. Squalls just keep coming! I'm only watering very other day because the soil is damp when I water and I don't want to overwater.

Week 4. I'm a day late to apply the solutions. I sprayed the bloom formula. 7 of the 12 huli have sprouted a new leaf so far and hopefully they will all pop by next week.

Since we are having our rainy season, I've only been watering every other day.

Week 3. I harvested 12 huli (6 each of 2 different varieties) from mature plants on our farm. I planted them in a zigzag, about 12" apart. Then I watered them well and sprayed the leaf formula.

Week 2. I drenched the soil solution for the second time and then deep watered it in. Soil is watered daily to keep the microbes happy.

Week 1. Today I cleared some space in my Food Canoe to plant 10x2 feet of kalo. I applied IMO4 to the surface soil and 4 gal of soil solution. Then I deep watered. I will repeat the same thing next week.

I deep watered IMO4 and soil solution into the Food Canoe soil

I dusted handfuls of IMO4 on the surface. Then I drenched with the soil solution. And then I deep watered.
